Talk about an ambiguous possessive, whose downfall is this from the iPaper? Of course quite a lot of people would be happy to see it belong to both of them. "Trump threatens war on Murdoch. It will be his downfall".
It turns out that the iPaper is suggesting it could be the POTUS's
(If you want to find the answer, it's in the hidden text.)
Why is there never a Mutual Assured Destruction around when you need it?
Exactly what a FB friend (who I think is a Shippie, but I don't know her Ship name) said! As I replied to her comment, it's a battle you'd want both sides to lose!
Huge fire breaks out in Kilmarnock town centre as emergency services race to blaze
Another of those occasions when the emergency services were so quick the fire didn't break out until they were in the act of racing to the blaze ...
Just spotted this one. I think the terrific speed at which the firefighters responded to a blaze resulted in the spontaneous combustion of the town centre as they whizzed through it.
Presumably the Media Group to which all these journals belong has a guide which sub-editors must use when they create headings. Perhaps they get sacked if they don't use the word "as" in the approved way.
BBC: "Teens stranded in cave after canoe capsizes rescued as mum raises alarm". Imagine: mum goes to raise the alarm but, just as she does so, the rescuers arrive without having been told.
I can see it now: "Editor Fired As Headline Released Without An As."
Yes - fired just before the as-less headline appeared...
O Dread Lord Cthulhu - teach these gormless wossnames some grammar...if they can't even manage simple English, how are they going to cope when Your Dread Lordship returns, and they have to learn R'lyehen?

R'lyehen (though I confess I'm not 100% sure if that speeling is correct) is the language spoken by the devotees of H P Lovecraft's creation, Dread Lord Cthulhu. The sunken city in which He lies dreaming, until His time comes, is called R'lyeh.
I'm pretty sure that they haven't been able to function - the hole is huge and undermines the building. It seems to be over an old culvert and mineshaft.
I hadn't looked at the globally influential Strathspey and Badenoch Herald for some time, and was bemused to read just now: A95 whisky road crash between Aberlour and Craigellachie sees man arrested. The brief article leaves the reader none the wiser regarding the role of the uisge beatha in the event.
Not so much weird as just impressive, but this has appeared as today's front page headline in the National. For non UK shipmates, that is a Scottish newspaper that supports the SNP.
'Convicted US felon to arrive in Scotland'
, with a slightly smaller subheading,
'Republican leader, who was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, will visit golf courses'.
I will leave it up to others to guess to whom this news refers.

Ah - I see! Thank you.

Very dangerous, those public pleas!

Yes - after not as! (Mind you, the sinkhole appeared two years ago!)
*swoons*
Mind you, it begs the question as to what the poor social club has been doing all this while - hanging over the edge of the sinkhole?
